With Flynn Family at Helm, Conservative Nonprofit Leads Revamped Advocacy Mission

PALM BEACH, Fla.—Under a cloudy sky, Mary Flynn O’Neill and her staff unloaded a shipping truck full of event supplies and several framed art pieces and carried them into the grand ballroom at the Mar-a-Lago club on the afternoon of Dec. 15. They had just over a day to go before their organization’s biggest annual fundraising event.

For O’Neill’s staff, Mar-a-Lago is a familiar venue. Their organization, America’s Future, has held multiple previous events at the club, which is owned by President Donald Trump. Their leadership maintains key friendly ties with the president.
